This item surfaced on the -F forum recently. My $0.02 USD on it ;-)
While I agree with the usefulness of the feature, I find it both distracting and difficult to see under all circumstances. It could have as easily been implemented as a "light" (cluster of pixels) that are red or green, color or grey (for example). The sliding line eats up CPU cycles unnecessarily. The lower left corner has unused space, as does the space below the cal indicators. "P" or "R" (English, running, or paused), icons, there are many options that are both more visible and less distracting. ~R~ 72/73 de Rich NE1EE The Dusty Key On the banks of the Piscataqua |

As I newly picked up a NanoVNA-H Rev 3.4 is it so un usable that you MUST upgrade them or are they still useable without upgrading? What New features are available by upgrading them.

I keep both of my NanoVNA (-H and -H4) up to date just to keep them up to date. I don't think using an older version for basic functions will be an issue. However, These updates, obviously, are to correct bugs found and add new features as you already know. If you check the depository where the new versions are, you should find release notes, hopefully. I will check the depository often to ensure I have the latest.
I personally use Hugen79 version. Don't know why, just do. Looks like DiSLord has a new version just released a few hours ago (5/28/2022 12:55 UTC) Brian D KF6BL |
